And she said I was like the twentieth person to vote.

The fact was that if I weren't like, an ultra-devotee, the kind of guy who wants to do absolutely anything I can to support Trump and the Republican Party right now...

I wouldn't have actually known or cared to vote. In a state where state elections are usually lateterm (2019), why would you think to go to the polls in 2017?

Plus if your public notice system isn't very good there's a very high chance you don't know about the election

So I think a lot of these really small, state-district etc. special elections just might not have enough awareness that they exist to actually be useful.

That's hilarious. I remember kids used to openly do Nazi shit at my HS.

I would do shit like show pictures of Soviet (Russian) troops waving the USSR flag over the Reichstag in class to harass them since it was largely an ethnic thing, and I even did a "social injustice" project where I condemned affirmative action as anti-white and used the word "ebonics" to make fun of a white kid.

Lol

The fact is we're actually lucky to be able to hold reps in union-dominated regions of MN, southwestern mestizo-majority Texas, etc.

Some of these districts are just getting tons of internal migration from Massachusetts, coastal California, and other left-wing areas, so they get blued.

But we'll win

Indeed.

@Markus Anthony California doesn't have party primaries.

Indeed.

I was referring to the DNC being fair though.

California is technically supposed to be fair even though they rig it anyway.

Lol

I doubt that WA one is possible because Seattle needs to be dark blue.

Also in regards to California, San Diego isn't going red, sorry.

This should be merged into the KY-LA channel.

This is really more appropriate to merge with Kentucky than Louisiana.

They're not wrong.

There don't seem to be many well-known candidates running.

In particular, only 2 have any notability from statewide elections.

1 was a candidate for Lt. Gov., where I assume he lost the primary, and the other was elected Auditor in 2016.

Who's Manning?

Oh him

<.<

Yeah not necessarily but it's a huge indicator IMO; for instance, the actual right-wingers in Louisiana's 2016 Senate election were all defeated by a moderate just because he held the post of Treasurer.

Fortunately, Louisiana got a Republican Senator, even though he's a moderate one.

Another example is MN, where they're rating the regular election seat as "Solid D" while rating the special election seat as "likely D / tossup"

There's just no Republicans running to unseat the non-appointed incumbent.

The dude is literally winning by default.

@Walter Johnson Pat Buchanan and George Wallace are against wealth redistribution; GWB supports it.

Also yeah

The reason he won the primary was definitely his personality and rhetoric; Ted Cruz basically copy and pasted his most popular proposals into his platform before the Iowa caucus.

So if you wanted Trump policies, you basically could've voted for Cruz. In fact, he was probably more right-wing/Capitalist in many ways.

However it is precisely because he was more far-right than Trump on economic issues that he was ironically not as electable as Trump.

Indeed.

Hopefully, the situation improves.

Arthur Jones in the GOP primary

Archived already?!

Yeah there's no way to know what he meant when he said "No!"

He refused to endorse Obama in 2012 but idk about 2016.

It's really sad how much of nu-/pol/ thinks oldfags are shills.

The most notable example is how /sg/ basically has old/pol/ FP views but most of /ptg/ thinks they're just shitskins or whatever

wtf am I looking at

Did the Democrats propose this monstrosity?

@Red Storm (in NYC) Doubtful unless you're referring to "4CHAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN LEFT-WING!" or one of the related groups of fools.

Those may very well be shills.

It's more likely he can just exploit the weaknesses of his enemies well enough to give that impression.

Yeah exactly

Are the colors the proposed districts?

Because those look even more unconstitutional than the current districts

If they're not the exact same districts, that is!

My one qualm with your recommendations, @🎃Boo-ton🎃

Is that consumer confidence etc. are amazing right now.

If there's any economic issue, it's the stock market, but that's only because of the correction.

It's really the fault of Congress.

As the stock market skyrocketed expecting great 2017 legislation, repealing Obamacare etc.

But the Republicans did not pass such legislation.

Indeed.

Indeed.

This is the best I've got.

The fact is we don't have any data because illegals are a scarcely reported on statistical group.

Like the USSC here is the only source

The FBI is the general source I use

But the FBI only provides race and Hispanic stats

Likewise, many states and localities--especially sanctuary jurisdictions--do not publish stats on illegals' crimes.

Just post /rsg/ whenever you want

If it archives, rebake

And please, only post threads here--not discussion.

>Reddit

Yeah he looks like a mafia dude to an outsider though

Yeah, /pol/ is really young.

It's better to poll underageb&, 18-21, 21-25, 25-35, 35-50, and 50+.

Every site has blackpilled people who don't vote.

Cancer is spreading mainly from reddit to 4chan even though Defeatism is basically native to 4chan.

The only notable one

Not surprised

Also, link?

Polls include people who aren't running all the time.

Indeed.

Ross Perot is a perfect example of that.

What?

I wish they didn't put black as N/A, just for Carson

Indeed.

The fact is that Trump needs a reliable Senator from Utah, as infighting is such a serious issue in the Senate.

My fav is the "Man these penny bets are a steal!" meme

Where people say shit like "MAN SUCH A GREAT DEAL ON JILL STEIN"

"JILL STEIN WILL DEFEAT HILLARY CLINTON"

and you know this shit is not serious

I just bought out the 48c tier of Donnelly.

Also I bet $20 on Lasko

I love how Donnelly is already down to 49c on "YES"

But it's Utah so it's true

Dude was unironically too moderate to be President

but he can win Utah, which is exclusively a state that only votes for guys who rampantly D3R pander and shit while voting Republican every time

Indeed. It's a Mormon-majority state, after all.
